The breast is a superficial organ attached to the muscle on the rib cage. It is present in both males and females and is however more well developed in females. In women, it is made up of milk-producing glands and ducts that carry milk to the nipple. The glands and ducts are supported by fat and fibrous tissue which gives the shape of the breast.
Normally, the healthy cells in our body grow old and replace themselves with new cells in an orderly manner. When there are abnormal changes in this process, the cells go haywire and there is no control of the growth of new cells. This purposeless proliferation of cells takes over the body’s function and is called cancer. When this happens in the breast its called breast cancer.
